## Resource

This week on Stand-Up Memories, we take a turn off the beaten comedy path… and into a story that spans history, humanity, and the power of preservation. Our guest, Richard Hurowitz, is an author, historian, and humanitarian whose work explores the moments—and people—that shape the world we live in. He’s the author of “In the Garden of the Righteous”, a powerful book that uncovers extraordinary acts of courage during one of history’s darkest times. So what happens when you drop a historian into a room with Jackie “The Joke Man” Martling and Peter “The Professor” Bales? You get something unexpected. A conversation that moves between laughter and legacy… between punchlines and perspective. Because while comedians preserve moments on stage… Richard preserves the stories that might otherwise be forgotten. It’s still Stand-Up Memories—just zoomed out a bit… from the stage to the world. 👉 If you love great storytelling, surprising conversations, and episodes that hit a little deeper… this one delivers. #StandUpMemories #RichardHurowitz #InTheGardenOfTheRighteous #Storytelling #HistoryMatters #ComedyPodcast #JackieMartling #PeterBales #HumanStories #PodcastEpisode
